Baby Smurf’s take home test…..

How is Spain Organized? La organización de la comunidad

Tema 11

Once fine spring day, all the Smurf children chatted away about summer plans as they headed off to school.

“I can’t wait for summer!” said Blue Smurf to his friends, I’m going to learn to swim!”

I’m going to a farm!

I’m going to learn to cook!

I’m going to painting camp!

I’m will take music lessons!

I’m going to play outside!

“We can’t wait for summer either!” said all the Smurfs, “we will have so much fun!”

I’m going to get strong!

But that very same day, at Smurf School, the Mr. Senior Smufr said, “for tomorrow ,there is a take home test on the Organization of Spain, if you fail, you will have to take summer school.”

All the Smurf kids were very worried, and after school, they went right home to start studying.

The Provinces of Andalucía. The first question was

about Andalcuia. Blue Smurf knew that Spain was in the south of the Iberia Peninsula. “There are eight provinces,” that isn’t too hard,” thought Blue Smurf, “I can name these!”

Can you help Blue Smurf read each one?

Spain Provinces… ¿cuántos hay?

The next question asked, “how many provinces are in Spain?” Hum, thought Blue Smurf a bit grouchy, that is a bit harder, can you help me?”

Spain Provinces• España tiene 50 provincias. • Algunas, como Madrid,

Jaén o Cáceres, no tienen costa. Son provincias de interior.

• There are 50 provinces in Spain.

• Others such as Malaga, Valencia o Asturias run along the coast. They are coastal provinces.

• There are three provinces, which are islands; these include Isla Islas Baleares, Las Palmas and Santa Cruz of Tenerife.

We got it! Thanks!

Next, match the English and Spanish… “Oh no,” thought Blue Smurf, “can you help me again, please?”
